From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Watching the Seventh-order Void Beasts grow increasingly numerous around him, Fang Renran continued to fight downwards, his dispersed Divine Sense already able to feel a patch of enormous dark fog a thousand meters away, where Mu Huanqing must be nearby.

But in his current state, although he could fight off Seventh-order Void Beasts with the enhancement of the "life-taking" technique, faced with a beast tide like a tidal wave, it was still hard for him to move forward even an inch.

Unless he resorted to the Asura Slaughter Blade, rapidly elevating his Asura Path by killing Seventh-order Void Beasts, he dared not use that thing unless absolutely necessary. After using it, not only would he become frenzied, but his identity could also be revealed by some soldiers from the Central Area who had participated in the Linglong Bay campaign.

If someone happened to kill him on the spot because they identified him as a member of the Nightfall Organization, it would be a loss beyond redemption.

"Xu Feng, do you dare to follow me into the central battlefield?" Fang Renran asked the Xu Feng fighting alongside him.

Within just a short time, Xu Feng was again covered in wounds, but he roared with undiminished fighting spirit, "What's there to fear! I, Xu Feng, came today to die in battle! If my life can take down one more High-Order Void Beast, it will save thousands of human Practitioners! It's worth it!"

Seeing his blood boiling with bravery, Fang Renran unhesitatingly took out another fifth-order elixir and threw it to him, "Since you never thought of leaving alive, eat this, and slay a few more Void Beasts with me!"

This elixir was indeed one he had concocted himself, a Xuan Realm Vital Qi Pill with effects similar to the Level 6 Annihilation Heaven Pill, which could raise a Practitioner's Realm by one major level in a short time, but the consequence was the exploding of the physical body, with the lucky possibly ending up disabled for life and the unlucky dying on the spot.

However, Fang Renran had no intention of harming Xu Feng. The elixir he gave Xu Feng was a lower-grade one, which at most would result in disordered meridians and pose no threat to his life. And as long as Xu Feng survived, Fang Renran also had ways to heal Xu Feng's meridians. In all respects, he was providing Xu Feng with a greater chance of survival.

Xu Feng, upon seeing Fang Renran giving him another fifth-order elixir, couldn't help but feel shocked. He had doubted Fang Renran's Alchemy skills before, but now he was convinced. Even generals from the Central Area couldn't casually dish out two fifth-order elixirs like this, could they?

Xu Feng did not immediately swallow the elixir, instead asking, "Brother Fang, if you have no alixirs left for yourself, I, Xu Feng, will not consume this one!"

Fang Renran, upon hearing the other's concern that he might not have elixirs for himself, casually took out a purple Slaughter Heaven Pill, "I've got plenty."

Having said that, he swallowed the purple elixir, and in a flash, his Realm began to soar, leaping from the midterm phase of Yingyue Realm to the Peak of Xuanyang Realm.

Although his Realm had risen by more than one major level in an instant, the result brought by this elixir was the explosion of his body, and if it reached his heart, he could die, and even the Asura Physique wouldn't be able to recover.

But he had a fallback plan, even if his heart exploded, it wouldn't be a big issue.

"Purple… elixir…"

Xu Feng, witnessing Fang Renran's soaring Realm, was completely stunned.

Purple Elixirs, something he had only heard of in human theories, were above the fifth-order elixirs and, to date, no human Alchemist had ever been able to concoct them.

Moreover, it was estimated by the Master Alchemists of the Central Area that even if humans spent another few hundred years, they would still struggle to discover the methodology to concoct sixth-order elixirs… But Fang Renran, a young man in his twenties, had them!

An unprecedented genius of elixir concoction…

Now, as Xu Feng rethought the evaluations people had of Fang Renran, he felt like people had grossly underestimated him. And the fact that his junior Fulan lost to him seemed all the more justified.

If Fang Renran had used this elixir during yesterday's duel, junior Fulan would likely have been slapped to death.

Fang Renran, seeing him stunned, spoke up, "The elixir I have would mean certain death for you, consume the one in your hands with peace of mind."

Xu Feng came back to his senses and immediately swallowed the elixir in his hand, "Brother Fang misunderstands! Xu Feng has already received too much help from you, how could I wish for a sixth-order elixir? It's just that I am truly shaken by your Alchemy achievements!"

After saying that, he suddenly felt like all the meridians in his body had caught fire, and his Spiritual Root began to pour out True Qi wildly; then his Realm began to climb steadily, his power skyrocketing from his current Peak Yingyue Realm to the same Peak Xuanyang Realm as Fang Renran.

Although the elixir didn't boost his power as excessively as the one Fang Renran held, Xu Feng was already at a high Realm, so it brought him to this level.

"This… is incredible…"

Xu Feng felt his body undergoing earth-shaking changes. Just a moment ago, he had been severely injured by the Seventh-order Void Beasts, but now he felt he could snuff out these Seventh-order Void Beasts with a mere gesture.

By the time he snapped back to reality, Fang Renran had already charged towards the Void Beasts below, and he quickly followed suit. With his current Realm, he could be of help even if he entered the central warzone.

Whoom—

For a while, on the middle layer of the battlefield, two streaks of light could be seen flashing quickly among the Seventh-order Void Beasts, splattering blood and flesh wherever they passed, saving many middle-layer warriors on the verge of death at the hands of the beasts.

"Peak Xuanyang Realm... Apart from several commanders of the Central Area and Madame Xuan, someone else has cultivated to this level!?"

"That! Isn't that Brother Xu Feng from the Tiandao Sword Sect? How did he break through to the Peak of Xuanyang Realm?!"

"The other one is... Fang Renran?! Wasn't he just a Blue Sky Realm yesterday? How did he break through to the Peak Xuanyang Realm as well?!"

"I must be going crazy! Am I hallucinating?"

...

Fang Ren and Xu Feng fought their way towards the central battlefield, rescuing tens of thousands of practitioners along their journey.

Occasionally, upon encountering a warrior on the brink of death, Fang Ren would toss them a recovery-type pill, leaving the surrounding human warriors slack-jawed in astonishment. Fourth-order elixirs were casually thrown around while only those close to death received fifth-order ones.

"This... this is a top-level fifth-order elixir!"

"Holy shit! Is this really a top-level fifth-order one for me too!?"

"Dammit! Are you guys still in the mood to chat? Hurry up and take the pill, then help clear the way for Young Master Fang!"

"Right! Swallow the pills and escort Young Master Fang to the central battlefield quickly!"

"Brothers! Charge!"

"Ao!"

...

With Fang Ren and Xu Feng's unbridled assault, the entire middle layer of the battlefield underwent a dramatic change. The seventh-order void beasts were nearly wiped out by the pair, and soldiers blocked all the sixth and fifth-order ones, leaving an almost unobstructed passage to the central battlefield.

As they were about to enter the central battlefield, more eighth-order void beasts began to appear, but for Fang Ren at his current realm, dealing with them wasn't too difficult, especially since he was enhanced by the Slaughter Decision, far surpassing an ordinary Xuanyang realm practitioner.

However, it was challenging for a practitioner like Xu Feng without such reinforcing cultivation techniques to face eighth-order void beasts.

An eighth-order void beast was almost equivalent to a mid-term phase practitioner in the Xuanyang realm. Even someone with peak Xuanyang realm strength would find it exhausting to fight against a group of eighth-order void beasts. A moment of inattention could result in a new wound.

Fortunately, Fang Ren's Baiwu's Ultimate Creation allowed him to attack and defend over a large area, and with their coordination, Xu Feng barely got injured.

"Brother Fang! We're about to enter the center!" Xu Feng said after killing the last eighth-order void beast nearby, "There's a void beast inside that surpasses the ninth order. We should try to coordinate with the warriors from Area One and Two as much as possible, or we might just be sending ourselves to an early grave without having killed many void beasts."

"You go and join them. I have my own business," responded Fang Ren.

Hearing this, Xu Feng continued to follow Fang Ren, "Then I will see you to your destination before going to meet up."

"No need, I can handle it myself."

As they spoke, the two rushed into the central war zone, breaking through to a scene of vastly expanding horizons.

The central war zone also had many human warriors, and the number of void beasts was no less than outside, but the distance between each fighter had increased significantly. Practitioners and void beasts with higher realms had a very wide range of attacks, which could easily cause friendly fire. To avoid such accidents, distances had to be maximized where possible.

Above the sea was a huge mass of black mist continuously twisting, surrounded by jets of destructive black pillars of light. Above this black fog, a group of light attribute practitioners intensively targeted their attacks, with Song Mobei in the forefront.

Around the black fog, the leaders from the major war areas led their soldiers, using their cultivation techniques to contain the fog's movement, while tens of thousands of Array Masters supported barriers to protect the surrounding warriors.

Not far away, an old man in a white robe was conjuring something with his True Qi, protected by many soldiers.

The sea roared with the sounds of battle as the deputy area directors struggled with a giant snake under the lead of Bai Chaojin, trying to seek and wrestle its head.

Meanwhile, a silver glow that kept moving around the black fog in the sky was the Mu Huiqing that Fang Ren was looking for.

The moment Fang Ren saw Mu Huiqing, his heart settled. Though she was injured, the power of her True Qi had not diminished, and for now, the black fog could not harm her.

However, the Divine Weapon floating behind her was a gruesome sight, covered with the carcasses of void beasts, its originally pure silvery light now veiled by their blood.

Having seen Mu Huiqing, Fang Ren immediately activated his cultivation technique: "Empty Ming Sword! Open Heaven!"

Hum——

A transparent giant sword, over a thousand meters long, formed above Fang Ren's head and with a sonorous ring of the air, it slashed down towards the black fog.

Boom——

The vast Empty Ming Sword crashed into the black fog, creating an impact, but then it was swallowed up by the black fog.

"Brother Fang! This is a void beast that surpasses the ninth order! We must attack systematically; otherwise, we can't inflict any substantial damage on it!" Xu Feng exclaimed.

"Of course, I know that," Fang Ren replied with a smile, his gaze turning towards the silver glow dancing in the sky. His goal had never been to harm the creature in the first place; he just wanted to be noticed by her.
